Liner Notes

@lyricslinger , I hope you approve of my interpretation of your lovely tribute to long-lasting love (https://fiftyninety.fawm.org/songs/297365). I took some liberties with the lyrics but tried to stay true to the message. The suggestion to make "shine" into a two-syllable dipthong was brilliant - really brings out the emotion in the verses. I'm afraid I ignored the song references and went more pop with it. I particularly enjoyed adding the guitar solo!

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
In my head, our love still shines
Undiminished by time
In my mind, the sparkle's still there
No flecks of grey in our hair

(Verse 2)
In my heart, our love still shines
Undiminished by time
In my chest, the passions burns bright
I can remember our first night

(Bridge)
Time was the storm
That swept us all away
Driftwood at sea
Held us in its sway.
I know time won't rewind
And nothing's stays the same
The outside world's unkind
So that is why I stay

(Guitar solo)

Cos
In my head, our love still shines
Undiminished by time
In my heart, our love still shines
Everything will be just fine

(Verse 3)
In my bones, our love still shines
Undiminished by time
In my veins, our love's still pure
It's perfect chemistry, I'll always be yours

Very nice collab. I like that two-step backing of synth running along behind. The drum drops in at the perfect moment but says spare so the vocals shine. The guitar solo is a nice section, too.

I like how those diphthongs add emphasis and emotion, and then the guitar solo leans into those feelings more than words can say. The music embodies the emotions the words sketch out and makes them true.
